Vantaggi
Very virtual organization with frequent telecommuting. Family friendly. Competitive salaries.
Svantaggi
Not innovative; very slow to make change and allot of internal resistance to change. Takes a strong internal network to accomplish goals across teams; spend more time on politics than working with customers. Building a career path as a middle manager is all about who you know. This approach means that its not a very diverse organization. The rhetoric is that diversity is key but the reality is just the opposite. Many employees are "lifers" who don't seek excellence, just a secure salary. Also in interviewing outside the company, SAP experience is not valued and you spend more time explaining why you stayed there vs what great work you have done.
